PUBLISHER’S LETTER There is freedom in the fact that many of us don’t hold on to physical belongings like we used to. The impulse to travel light prepares us for our next spontaneous adventure, or even just life’s next surprise. When we consider life’s essentials, what do we want to take with us or pass on? Can art endure in ways other material things cannot? For the commercial art world, which in many ways depends on offering tangible work you will want to display and contemplate at home, this topic is critical. Younger generations do not buy art, or anything, the way previous ones did, and much of what holds our attention, even if for a few seconds, is on a screen. At the same time, there is more interest than ever in public art that belongs to the CGN Publisher, Ginny B. Van Alyea Photo: Jessica Tampas people. Art can represent a community. So, it makes sense that the processes of discovering and sharing art have fundamentally changed, due to the dominance of the Internet and social media, as well as an abundance of art fairs. Despite the challenges of processing an overwhelming amount of visual content on a daily basis, a collective interest in witnessing art and appreciating design, in learning history and hearing stories, and in seeking the authentic persists. Art continues to offer much to every generation. Just like an artist is compelled to create, many of us are inspired to behold what leaves an impression. Though the commercial element of art continues to evolve, perhaps art is more valuable than ever. CGN’s mission, since 1983, has been to make the art world accessible and to accurately and easily share all that is happening. The journey of discovering art is personal, and this CGN Arts Guide is your road map to encountering the art you want to see in one of the world’s most dynamic cultural centers. Carry the guide with you and refer to it throughout the year. Visit Chicagogallerynews.com and subscribe to our newsletter and Apple News Channel for insights into what is happening weekly. From the winter gallery openings to the fall art fairs, CGN is your guide to experiencing art and to understanding that long after everything else may be gone, art stays.
CGN BY THE NUMBERS Based on how busy 2017 was in the art world, we know there will be even more happening throughout 2018. We hope to see you in the galleries, at the museums, on the art fair floor, at the auction previews and art benefits, and beyond.
75,000 1,533 123 Visitors to both EXPO CHICAGO and SOFA in 2017. Visit the CGN booth at both fairs in 2018.

MARS GALLERY
WEST LOOP
When Mars, the namesake studio/gallery of renowned pop artist Peter Mars, opened in 1988 in Chicago’s West Loop meatpacking district, its off-the-beaten path location was a good indicator that it carried art you weren’t likely to find in more mainstream gallery districts. Far from stuffy, Mars Gallery welcomes everyone, from curious art novices to serious collectors. Peter Mars has been a leader in Chicago’s Avant Pop movement for more than 25 years, creating colorful artworks that disrupt predictable interpretation, tickle the senses and delight the inner child. Much of Mars’ work reflects the American pop culture of his childhood in the 1960s and 70s, notably the idealized American family, comic book figures, television and space age inventions. Housed in a 19th century all-brick timber loft, the gallery features retro and modern pop, figurative art and colorful paintings by a variety of artists, including its namesake Peter Mars. We also offer custom framing services, for work purchased at our gallery or elsewhere, as well as residential and commercial art installation.
